Remaining MMP maps now freely available
Major Nelson posted a note on his blog a few hours ago stating that the remaining maps from the Multiplayer Map Pack will be free to all Xbox Live subscribers by 5 pm ET today (that's in 10 minutes) - if you haven't grabbed 'em yet, go get 'em now! Thanks, Mintz. (Louis Wu 20:49:56 UTC) (permalink)
Coming Soon - A Thumb President
Over on Slate, there's an article called 'The Gaming Graybeards' - a pair of thirtysomethings give Halo 2 on Xbox Live a try (I think they were both totally new to the game AND the service, though one continued AFTER that first session), and write about their experiences. Alternately funny and excruciatingly painful. (Louis Wu 20:19:29 UTC) (permalink)
Not2old2type
2old2play cranks out the news today - Episode 8 (with coverage, to some degree, of the Xbox360) is now available for download, and they're gearing up for Episode 9, which will feature Xbox.com's Major Nelson (you can submit questions ahead of time). They've also written up an article reviewing Apple's iPod and providing a tutorial for using iTunes to subscribe to the 2old2type podcast. Go visit and learn. (Louis Wu 19:10:37 UTC) (permalink)
Community Building
Hong Kong Soupy points out an article on Zondaro.net about what it takes to interface with a fan community. The Bungie.net website is held up as a great example of what a developer can do to keep their fans coming back. (HKS was a little annoyed that fansites were left out of this equation entirely... but then, the market for the article was originally developers - and developers don't run fansites.)

Twelve Year Olds on a Sugar Rush
Ducain has posted his own writeup of the Suffer THIS! LAN held at Chez Chavez this weekend. Pictures, impressions, and the occasional unnecessary dig at a teammate who made an honest mistake... a great read. (Louis Wu 12:46:51 UTC) (permalink)
Bow chicka bowwow...
Red vs Blue Episode 58 has officially kicked off Season 4 - it's now online for both sponsors (in Hi-res) and the general public (in low-res). Caboose is smarter than he looks. (Not much, but...) And Tucker... Tucker shows his true colors. 4:22, a great start to the season. 10 - 43.5 mb, depending on flavor. (Louis Wu 12:24:07 UTC) (permalink)
